[Verse 1] Today the hills look taller Names I never knew Sharp against the morning Drawn in deeper blue I sip my quiet coffee Windows open wide The world feels freshly folded Creases clear and bright [Chorus] On days like this I see Further than yesterday Edges of the earth Soft and far away Air like a whispered answer Sky like an opened page On days like this I see Further than yesterday [Verse 2] A tiny gleam of water River miles from here I follow where it wanders With my borrowed eyes so clear A farmhouse on the ridgeline Smoke in a silver thread A road that keeps on going Past the place my thoughts have led [Chorus] On days like this I see Further than yesterday Edges of the earth Soft and far away Air like a whispered answer Sky like an opened page On days like this I see Further than yesterday [Bridge] I didn’t know the distance Was hiding in this light How many quiet futures Were just beyond my sight I breathe and every boundary Steps back a little more The far-off turns familiar I’m wider than before [Chorus] On days like this I see Further than yesterday Mountains wearing names I’m learning as I wait Air like a gentle promise Sky like an open gate On days like this I see Further than yesterday
